Maximum lifespan of the equipment
The maximum lifespan of the harness is 10 years from the date of
manufacture.
The harness
it fails to pass inspection or there are any
doubt as to its reliability.
ATTENTION:
The harness maximum lifetime depends on the intensity of
usage and the environment of usage. Using theharness in rough
environment, marine environment, contact with sharp edges, exposure to
extreme temperatures or agressive substances, etc. can lead to the
wthdrawal from use even after one use.
must be withdrawn from use immediately and destroyed
when it
ha
s
been used to arrest a fall
or
Periodic inspections
The safety harness must be inspected at least once every 12 months from
the date of first use.
Periodic inspections must only be carried out by a competent person who
has the knowledge and training required for personal protective equipment
periodic inspections. Depending upon the type and environment of work,
inspections may be needed to be carried out more frequently than once
every 12 months. Every periodic inspection must be recorded in the Identity
Card of the equipment.
·
a full body harness
(conforming to EN 361)
is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used, in a fall arrest system.
·
in full body harness use only attaching points marked with big letter "A" to attach a fall arrest system.
·
the anchor device or anchor point for the fall arrest system should always be positioned, and the work carried out in such a way, as to
minimise both the potential for falls and potential fall distance. The anchor device/point should be placed above the position of the user .
The shape and construction of the anchor device/point shall not allowed to self-acting disconnection of the equipment. Minimal static
strength of the anchor device/point is 1
2
kN.
I
t is recommended to use certified and marked structural anchor point complied with EN795
·
it is obligatory
to
verify the free space required beneath the user at the workplace before each occasion of use the fall arrest system, so
that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the ground or other obstacle in the fall path. The required value of the free space
should be taken from instruction manual of used equipment.
·
there are many hazards that may affect the performance of the equipment and corresponding safety precautions that have to be
observed during equipment utilization, especially:
- trailing or looping of lanyards or lifelines over sharp edges,
- any defects like cutting,
abrasion, corrosion,
- climatic exposure,
- pendulum falls,
- extremes of temperature,
- chemical reagents,
- electrical conductivity.
·
personal protective equipment must be transported in the package (e.g.: bag made of moisture-proof textile or foil bag or cases made of
steel or plastic) to protect it against damage or moisture.
·
the equipment can be cleaned without causing adverse effect on the materials in the manufacture of the equipment. For textile products
use mild detergents for delicate fabrics, wash by hand or in a machine and rinse in water. Plastic parts can be cleaned only with water.
When the equipment becomes wet, either from being in use or when due cleaning, it shall be allowed to dry naturally, and shall be kept
away from direct heat. In metallic products some mechanic parts (spring, pin, hinge, etc.) can be regularly slightly
lubricated to ensure
better operation.
Other maintenance and cleaning procedures should be adhered to detailed instructions stated in the manual of the
equipment.
·
personal protective equipment should be stored loosely packed, in a well-ventilated place, protected from direct light, ultraviolet
degradation, damp environment, sharp edges, extreme temperatures and corrosive or aggressive substances.
